i have been wanting to try this place for a while now. i am glad i finally made it to istanbulandgot the chance to live “ the nusr-et experience”.
make sure to book 2 to 3 weeks ahead,andprepare yourself for a long wait, but trust me it will definitely be worth it.
the wooden interior gives the place a warm vibe but what makes you feel all comfyandcozy is the staffandservice. eachandevery single table is perfectly taken care of. waiters are friendly, attentiveandalways around. they even perform a special show while serving the food.
now for the main act. meat.
we went for the new york steak. the tender strip is heavenly cooked. the waiter slices it up on a wooden platterandits pink juiciness just stands out but the signature “salt bae” touch is what does the magic trick. baked potatoesandspinach purée are served on the side.
we then had the special nusret dish. this is a must try. the special zone beef fillet comes almost raw. the waiter bathes it in boiling melted butter over a hot stone, the beef gets cooked to perfection with bread bites on the side dipped in the sauce before being served.
we also had the nusr-et burgers. to die for! you cant top that quality meat, rich taste,andamazing ingredients.
fries are refilled on the house.
and for the final act: dessert.
the cherry on top, as if this place needed one! a huge baklava tray comes right at you. the waiter opens up each slice, stuffs it with ice creamandthen chops it up. you can feel the mouthwatering flavor with eachandevery single crunchy bite, bathing in sugar syrup.
traditional turkish tea is served at the end to cool down.
this is, by far, one of my best dining experiences!
a full star rating to this amazing place!
